East End Chefs Help Fight Pediatric Cancer at Love Bites

Southampton Village Mayor Mark Epley and his wife Marianne will serve as the honorary chairpersons for the January 23 Love Bites benefit foodie event, honoring Children’s Museum of the East End President Stephen Long, Sag Harbor kindergarten teacher Nina Landi, and Dr. Diane Reidy-Lagunes, Co-Director of the Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York City.

Love Bites will be held at The Muses at the Greek Orthodox Church in Southampton in memory of Sag Harbor’s Katy Stewart, who died at 12 years old of hepatoblastoma, a rare liver cancer, and in honor of 8-year-old Scarlett James, who has just finished two years of chemotherapy at MSKCC for a rare form of pediatric lymphoma.

Proceeds benefit their respective charities, Katy’s Courage and The Scarlett Fund. Tickets, which range from $125–$750, can be purchased via PayPal on katyscourage.org.
